Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to an infant cup in which a straw is inserted into a spout provided in a cap screwed to a lid of a container.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in order to prevent a large amount of liquid from flowing out when the cup is tilted, this type of infant cup is provided with a weir in the cup mouth or a spout in the cup lid. , Was covered by a hood separate from the cup lid. Therefore, when pouring out the liquid in the container, after removing the hood main body from the spout, hold the hood main body in hand or place it on a table etc. and then suck the liquid in the container with a straw. I was drinking.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in such a conventional hood of a container,
Since the hood body was formed separately from the lid body of the container, when the hood body was removed, the hood body was separated from the lid body, and thus the hood body might be lost. In particular, when the container is an infant cup intended for infants, the hood body is often lost due to the infant forgetting the removed hood body. In addition, with the growth of infants, when an adult imitates and wants to drink from the mouth of a cup, a lid is provided that has an inner cylinder portion that has a smaller diameter than the mouth of the container body and projects upward. Since it was not, it was often drunk through the mouth of the container body, and clothes were often soiled.

The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and has a structure in which the hood body is connected to the lid body by a belt so that the hood body does not separate from the lid body even when the hood body is detached from the pouring port. A lid structure having an inner cylindrical portion protruding upward to be a drinking mouth having a smaller diameter than the drinking mouth,
According to the infant's growth, it is possible to drink by a three-step method: drinking with a straw, drinking from a small-diameter mouth, and drinking from the mouth of the container body. It aims to solve problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, an infant cup according to the present invention is screwed to a container body and an outer periphery of an upper edge of the container body, and has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the container body. A lid having an inner cylinder portion protruding upward, a cap having a spout for screwing the outer circumference of the inner cylinder to hold a straw, and a base with a belt detachably fitted to the outer circumference of the spout It is characterized by having a ring and a hood main body which covers the straw which is engaged with the tip of the belt by a connecting piece and projects outward from the spout.

[Operation] The hood body is formed integrally with the hood fixture via the belt, and the hood fixture is fitted into the spout of the lid. Therefore, even when the hood main body is removed and the fitting with the hood fixing tool is released, the hood main body is connected to the lid and cannot be separated, and therefore the hood main body is not lost. In addition, by adopting a lid structure having an inner cylindrical portion protruding upward which becomes a drinking mouth having a smaller diameter than the drinking mouth of the container body, an infant imitates an adult and swallows from the drinking mouth of the container body. When removing, remove the cap and drink from the inner cylinder provided on the lid,
It is possible to reduce stains on clothes.

[Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the structure will be described. 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a bottomed container body having a cylindrical shape, and a male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of a container opening 2 having a wide opening at the top.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a lid that is screwed into the container opening 2, and has an outer cylinder portion 4 having an internal thread on its inner peripheral surface, an upper plate portion 5 that covers the upper surface of the outer cylinder portion 4, and an eccentric portion of the upper plate portion 5. The inner cylindrical portion 6 is provided so as to protrude upward, and a male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical portion 6.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a cap screwed into the inner tubular portion 6, and the cap 7 comprises a tubular portion 8 having an internal thread on the inner peripheral surface thereof and a hemispherical shell portion 9 covering the upper surface of the tubular portion 8. An annular packing is formed on the inner surface of the portion where the body portion 8 and the hemispherical shell portion 9 are continuous.
10 is welded. The hemispherical shell 9 is formed with a spout 11 that projects obliquely upward.

As shown in FIG. 3, the holes of the spout 11 are provided with projections 12 projecting radially inward from three directions.
Supports the upper part of the straw 13 that penetrates the hole of the spout 11. The outer peripheral surface of the spout 11 is formed with an outer peripheral groove 14 continuous in the circumferential direction.

Reference numeral 15 is a hood fixing tool fitted in the outer peripheral groove 14, and as shown in FIG. 4 and the like, a base ring 16 formed in an annular shape.
And a stopper ring 17 having the same annular shape that is bulged on one surface side of the base ring 16, and a belt 18 that is formed to project laterally from the base ring 16, and a connecting portion is provided at the tip of the belt 18. Forming the nineteen.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a hood body formed in a substantially hemispherical shell shape, and a connecting piece 21 formed to project near the opening side of the outer peripheral surface is inserted into the connecting portion 19 and integrally welded thereto. Further, in the vicinity of the opening side of the inner peripheral surface of the hood body 20, the stopper ring 17
An inner peripheral groove 22 that can be fitted to

The material of the hood body 20 is preferably a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene, and the hood fixture
The material of 15 is preferably a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene, and by adopting a combination of these materials, both members can be welded and integrally molded by injection molding.

Next, the operation will be described.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an example applied to an infant cup.

Fill the container body 1 with milk, juice, etc.
After attaching the lid body 3 to the inner wall portion 6 of the lid body 3,
Is attached, and the hood main body 20 is engaged with the hood fixture 15 fitted in the spout 11 to protect the straw 13 whose tip is supported by the cap 7.

When drinking milk or the like in the container body 1, the hood body 20 is pryed to release the engagement between the inner circumferential groove 22 and the stopper ring 17, and the hood body 20 is removed from the hood fixture 15 to expose the straw 13. . As a result, the straw 13 having the exposed tip can suck milk or the like inside.

In this case, the removed hood main body 20 is connected to the hood fixture 15 via the belt 18, and the hood fixture 15 is fitted and fixed to the spout 11 of the cap 7, so that the infant can eat the hood. Even if the hood is opened, there is no risk of losing the hood body 20 by leaving it behind. Further, when an infant wants to drink from the drinking mouth of the container, the cap 7 screwed onto the lid 3 is removed together with the straw and allowed to drink from the inner cylindrical portion 6, so that stains on the clothes can be reduced. .

When not drinking milk or the like, it is sufficient to fit the hood main body 20 to the hood fixing device 15.
13 Contamination of the tip etc. can be prevented, and milk etc. in the container can be hygienically sucked thereafter.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the hood fixture and the hood body are connected by the belt so as to be integrated, so that even when the hood body is removed from the spout, The body does not separate from the cap,
In particular, even when the container is an infant cup intended for infants, there is no risk of losing the hood body, and it is possible to drink with a straw according to the growth of the infant, and to drink from a small-diameter mouth and It is possible to provide a highly practical infant cup that can be drunk by the three-stage method of drinking from the mouth of the container body and can be used hygienically. .
